linux i3 portable program in menu

# Add symlink to program:
ln -s /path/to/program /path/to/symlink
# Where:
#	- -s means symlink
#	- The /path/to/program is where the "real" program is stored
#	- The /path/to/symlink is where the symlink will be created
#	- Glob patterns can be used to specify which files to link to
# Note, some other useful ln flags include:
#	- -f and -i, -f removes existing symlinks and -i prompts before replacement
#	- -r, which creates symbolic links with paths that are relative to the
#		source directory
#	- to delete all symlinks in the current directory, run:
#		find . -maxdepth 1 -type l -delete

# The app should now appear in your launch menu (dmenu)
